Click here         Michael Cohen Taped Donald Trump Discussing Payments To Playmate: Reports Michael Cohen, longtime personal attorney to President Donald Trump, secretly recorded the then-presidential candidate discussing a payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, alleged to have had an affair with Trump, The New York Times reported Friday. According to the Times, the tape was among the documents and items seized from Cohen’s New York office during an FBI raid earlier this year. ABC News and CNN later confirmed the report. Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney representing the president in various ongoing scandals, confirmed the tape’s existence, but dismissed its significance by saying that it was less than two minutes long, according to the Times. He also claimed that the recording suggests that Trump had no previous knowledge of the payment. READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
